Ellis Simms devastates Maidstone with rapid-fire brace for Coventry.
Maidstone, currently occupying the 8th position in the National League South, face an enormous challenge against Coventry City.
Following their victory over Championship team Ipswich Town in the previous round, Maidstone fans may have harbored hopes of sparking a historic FA Cup journey. However, that hopeful vision has been abruptly dashed.
Ellis Simms netted the opening goal in the 9th minute, capitalizing on a pass from Kasey Palmer. The duo combined once more shortly thereafter.
As expected, the home team has dominated proceedings in the early stages of this cup encounter, which now appears to be firmly in their control.
